Is your GMC Acadia or other GM vehicle acting possessed? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that won’t cooperate, or random warning lights on the dash are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronic accessories, and when it fails, it can cause a host of frustrating and unpredictable problems. Don’t let electrical gremlins take over your vehicle. This VIN-programmed Body Control Module is the reliable, straightforward solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and your peace of mind.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 GMC Acadia come into the shop with a list of bizarre symptoms. The owner said the radio would change stations on its own, the interior dome lights would stay on, and sometimes the power liftgate wouldn’t open. He had already replaced the battery, but the issues persisted. After hooking up the scan tool, we saw multiple communication error codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealer, we installed one of our VIN-programmed modules. The installation was straightforward, and once we performed the quick brake pedal position relearn, all the strange electrical issues were gone. The customer was thrilled to have his vehicle back to normal without the dealership hassle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the radio, climate control, or interior lighting.
- ✔ The security system light staying on or the vehicle failing to start.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster (e.g., ABS, Traction Control).
- ✔ Wipers or exterior lights turning on or off by themselves.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed 2007-2012 Acadia BCM?
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take the guesswork and extra steps out of the repair process. When you order, you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians will then program the module with the latest GM-certified software specific to your vehicle’s configuration. This ensures that when the part arrives, it’s ready for installation, saving you a trip to the dealership for expensive programming. This is the most efficient way to get your 2007-2012 Acadia BCM replaced and your vehicle running correctly.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Installation is typically straightforward, as the BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dash. However, after installing your new BCM, a couple of additional steps, known as relearn procedures, may be required to ensure all systems communicate correctly.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure your brake lights and traction control system function properly, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary.
Please note: While this 2007-2012 Acadia BCM is a primary fitment, this module is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles. Please verify your part number and check the detailed fitment list to ensure compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?

The physical replacement is manageable for a DIYer with basic tools, as the BCM is typically accessible under the dash. However, post-installation procedures like the airbag sync or brake relearn may require a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
What happens if I don’t perform the relearn procedures?
If required for your vehicle, failing to perform the relearn procedures can result in persistent warning lights (like the airbag light) and improperly functioning systems, such as traction control or brake lights.
Will this module fit other vehicles besides the GMC Acadia?
Yes, this BCM, part number 25826124, fits a wide variety of GM vehicles including the Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, Saturn Outlook, Chevy Impala, and many more. Always confirm your original part number is on our cross-reference list.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Because we program it to your VIN, it is as close to plug-and-play as possible. It eliminates the need for dealership programming, but as noted, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after installation.
